Opening Thursday, 14 November 2024, 6 pm to 9 pm

In 2024, 'Being in-between' provides the conceptual superstructure for nine short, individual artistic presentations that explore the theme in its various aspects. Being in-between can be a thought, a state or even a feeling. We want to understand being in-between as a possibility to see more and to grasp different perspectives simultaneously.

Cana Bilir-Meier (*1986 in Munich) lives and works in Munich and Vienna. She studied art and digital media as well as film and art education at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna and at Sabancı University in Istanbul. She works as a filmmaker and artist as well as in art and cultural education projects. Her filmic, performative and text-based works operate at the intersection of archive work, text production, historical research, contemporary media reflexivity and archaeology. She is co-founder of the initiative in memory of Semra Ertan and co-editor of the poetry collection "Mein Name ist Ausländer - Benim Adım Yabancı". In 2021, she was a substitute professor for art education at the Academy of Fine Arts Munich.

Dialogue partner: Simon Biallowons (*1984) is a trained philosopher, journalist and author. He has worked as a reporter all over the world and his books primarily deal with philosophical and religious-spiritual topics. He worked as a correspondent in Rome, lived in the Middle East and reported as a reporter for various media in many countries. Biallowons is the author of several bestsellers and is currently managing director and chief editor of Herder Verlag.

Yulia Lokshina (*1986 in Moscow, Russia) studied documentary film directing at the University of Television and Film Munich. Her film and video works deal with the interference of social environments and their protagonists. Her graduation film - both an artistic and political project - 'Rules on the conveyor belt, at high speed' deals with temporary work and labour migration from Eastern Europe to Germany, questions of social participation and class consciousness and was awarded the Max Ophüls Prize for the best documentary film in 2020. Her work asks critically: How do we talk about things that concern us? Who is responsible for what? What becomes an issue? She works in the border area of film and science at the Forum Internationale Wissenschaft Bonn, as well as in open formations with artist friends.
